Friday Recipe: Indian Lamb Korma with Cucumber Raita

*Read in a 1950s announcer's voice, so stares every 3rd word*
This is the ongoing saga of crock pot, dinners, and the quest to find something simple, easy, and delicious.

Now granted, I still don't know what Korma is, but it's rather tasty. Not a fan of cucumber, but this was a light summery mix that worked well in February. A little expensive (it is winter in the northern hemisphere after all) but well.

This is the recipe I used by going to bing.com, typing in crock pot recipes; crock-pot.com then clicking on lamb & veal for ingredients. And no, mine didn't look as pretty as the picture here, that I got from the internet.

Directions
1.In a medium skillet, sauté the onions, ginger, garlic and chilies in the oil.
2.Add the turmeric, cumin and coriander and blend well.
3.Add the lamb, turning the meat as it browns.
4.When browned, spoon the lamb and spices into the Crock-Pot® slow cooker.
5.Add the tomatoes, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and water and mix thoroughly.
6.Cover; cook on Low 6 to 8 hours (or on High for 3 to 4 hours).
7.Thirty minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and re-cover.
8.For the Cucumber Raita: In a small bowl, sprinkle the cucumber with salt, and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain off the cucumber liquid. Stir in the yogurt and mint, and serve with the Indian Lamb Korma.

About Me

Kristabel Reed lives on the East Coast and loves to explore the steamier side of historical romance. "There are so many sexy situations that didn't just pop up in the 21st century and my goal is to burst the myth of the prim and proper debutante."
She loves romances but historical ménages particularly which add an element of danger and discovery not seen in contemporaries. Historically speaking, unusual romantic connections put lives on the line-people were ostracized and some even put to the death.
She loves reading, watching old movies, and anything Cary Grant. And is always interested in talking about erotic romance, so drop her a line: kristabelreed@yahoo.com; or Tweet her @kristabelreed; find her blog: kristabelreed.blogspot.com
